As he adjusted his grip, his too big paws skittered forward in the dirt a little, his entire body pulled forward by the branch. It was a relentless game of tug-of-war, with neither Astyanax nor the sapling wanting to give in easily. White-tipped tail flicking behind him in growing frustration, the boy gave it another harsher tug, freezing up as he felt something give.
An ear flicked as he heard his brother appear suddenly, calling out a question, but he did not get a chance to even turn to acknowledge the other boy. THWAP. Like a taut wire pulled to its limit, the branch flicked out from between his teeth, taking a single canine with it as it did so. It flew up into the air, also whipping Astyanax across his lip and muzzle.
With a loud yipe, he stumbled back, falling onto his hindquarters in both surprise and pain while the sapling snapped back to its original position. In answer to Karst's question, it was obvious now that Astyanax had no clue as to what he was doing.
